[willbick]

Just going over the shoulder of mt Snowdon, highest mountain in Wales at 1085m. Sadly no road to the summit!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

break in freefall now.

 

[EnacheV]

From 1'40" to 1'20" in under 1.5 km's

Dan Martin , Quintana attack, Wiggo following

 

[willbick]

Great action!!

 

[Ferminal]

Credit to Martin for having a go on 6%.

 

[EnacheV]

to small this climbs to make a difference but props for animating the race

 

[willbick]

Bit of a suicide attack from Bauer there but fair play for having a go

 

[TourOfSardinia]

descent not wet - Wiggo should be okay

 

[EnacheV]

6km to go

break - 25' chasers - 35' wiggins

 

[Ferminal]

ffs Barbie chases down Keisse. Think the bunch might win though.

 

[willbick]

Cav for the win lol!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Cav wins :d

 

[EnacheV]

very close, 5 more meters and cavendish would have lost, started to early

 

[willbick]

Nah, he was in control

 

[willbick]

Great savevan hoff!! Was the some nutter in the road by the finish line?!

 

[King Boonen]

Rubbish. He was easing off at the end. When he was in full flow no-one could make any advance on him, as you would expect with this field.

Cav still had a bike length on him no chance.

Possible, images were frontal, no lateral image, hard to say what was the gap

 

[willbick]

Good stage, nice win for cav. Looking forward to seeing Martin and quintana going crazy up caerphilly mtn tomorrow!

Is it a mountain or a hill though?!?!

[willbick]

Lol, very much a hill but close enough to finish to make an attack worthwhile, as JTL and koenig did last year

A bunch of cameramen sat taking photos 25 metres after the finish line directly in the path of the riders. Could have been a terrible incident. Idiots.
